The goal of this exercise is to improve the speed and accuracy of your alternate picking. Go slow enough to play it perfectly before increasing the speed.
The following picking combination should be used: d, u, d, u, d, u, etc. where d = downstroke and u = upstroke.
Thanks for this website, I’m looking for getting shred skills but here in Mexico schools and teachers are so expensive and they just drain away your money. I have a good knowledge of the music theory and practice but I lack of techniques and certain knowledge in scales and ability to improvisation (?) teachers got me stuck in senseless exercises and basic chords for months and I didn’t even get any good as they said in the short term they promised. Long story… I hope you can post some material about this issue and get deeper into some tricks and techniques. Thanks again
